Tengo miedo de morirme y volver a nacer
Y que tú no estés ahí
Que quiera hacértelo como yo te lo solía hacer
Y que tú no estés ahí, que no estés ahí
Como siempre estuviste pa’ mí
Yo sé que mil errores cometí
No sé cuánto tiempo pueda durar sin ti
Y por eso vuelve
Que sin ti el mismo ya yo no seré
‘Tás con otro, ya yo me enteré
Dime baby si tú piensas volver, yeh, yeh
Y por eso vuelve
Que sin ti el mismo ya yo no seré
Que estás con otro, ya yo me enteré
Dime si como yo lo sabe hacer
Yeh-eh-eh
¿Qué paso en la relación
Y el amor que me tenías?
Lo hacíamos tan cabrón
Que parecían orgía’
Yo sé que sigo en tus fantasías (eh-eh)
‘Tás con él pero eres mía
Extraño la colección de babydoll
Cómo te quedan bebé
En la cama metiéndote un gol
Como Shakira y Piqué, Rosa champaña y motel
Eres la fruta prohibida que sabe a pecado y que sabe jugar con mi vida
Por eso me llevo a cualquiera enredá’
Como una bala perdida, yeh
En mis sueño’ yo siento tu cuerpo
Mi único enemigo es el tiempo
Tú cierra’ los ojos y piensa’ en mi nombre
Pero te das cuenta que ahora hay otro hombre
Nadie cambia el oro por el cobre, me equivoqué
En mi sueño yo siento tu cuerpo
Mi único enemigo es el tiempo
Yo aposté, vi que gané, luego perdí
Y me juego la carta pa’ recuperarte
Y por eso vuelve
Que sin ti el mismo ya yo no seré
‘Tas con otro, ya yo me enteré
Dime baby si tú piensas volver, yeh, yeh
(Go, go)
Por eso vuelve
Que sin ti el mismo ya yo no seré
‘Tás con otro ya yo me enteré
Dime si como yo lo sabe hacer, eh-eh-eh
Yeah, yeah, fumo, fumo y no me arrebato
Me dijeron que ya tienes otro gato
Yo no quiero putas pa’ pasar el rato
To’as solo quieren cartera y zapato
Oye, tú eres la única que era real, yeh
La única en la que yo puedo confiar (run it)
Tus besos eran lit
Baby, lo nuestro nunca tenga RIP
Tú eras mi Angelina yo era tu Brad Pitt
Éramos equipo como Lebron y D-Wade en lo’ Heat (go)
Súper imposible olvidarme de ti
Y de to’ lo que hicimos en aquella suite
Baby, tú eras de verdad
Ninguna ‘e estas putas son genuina’
Son como las Louis Vuitton feka, hechas en China
Te juro que verte con otro me lastima
Estoy esperando que vuelva’ y te me trepe’ encima
Por eso vuelve
Que sin ti el mismo ya yo no seré
‘Tás con otro, ya yo me enteré
Dime baby si tu piensas volver, ey eh
Por eso vuelve
Que sin ti el mismo ya yo no seré
‘Tás con otro, ya yo me enteré
Dime si como yo lo sabe hacer, eh eh eh
Queda claro
(Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh)
Que nosotros los hombres
Somo los peores negociantes (Bad Bunny, baby, bebé, bebé)
Cambiamos el oro por el cobre Daddy Yankee-kee-kee
DY (DY)
